Like them or not, but the Mormons played a huge part in the early settlement in Alberta, and are a major reason areas like Lethbridge, Cardston, Taber, Bow Island, Medicine Hat, etc, etc are major agriculture boons and contribute hugely to the Alberta economy.
Mormons and Dutch immigrants.
I find their belief system strange as well, but I had Mormon teachers for years throughout my school years, as well as having gone to school with many Mormon kids, they are some of the nicest people I've met. Nice and hardworking.
